While things can’t get much worse for the Yankees at the big league level as the team is riding a five game losing skid, the Yankees received another blow in the minor leagues after top prospect Gleyber Torres left last night’s game with an elbow injury.

The RailRiders placed Torres on the 7-day DL today, but Torres took to Twitter to express his good spirits following the injury.
The 20-year-old phenom suffered the injury on an awkward slide into home plate and immediately came up grabbing at his left elbow in what looked like a painful play. The initial diagnosis is a hyperextended left-elbow, but X-rays came back negative for Torres.
This injury comes at a tough time for Torres who was hitting his stride against Triple-A competition. In 23 games, Torres was slashing .309/.406/.457 with two home runs, four doubles, one triple and 16 RBIs. There had been recent reports earlier this week that Torres could see action in the Bronx as early as the trade deadline.

While everyone is focused on the team’s struggles in the Major Leagues, the Yankees will also be monitoring this situation closely, as more details arise.

Being trapped inside for the last two days due to the snowstorm that pounded the entire eastern seaboard has only enhanced my desire for the return of baseball season. Considering all indications from ownership point to the Yankees being done for the most part as far as additions are concerned, I felt as if now would be a prompt time to make some early predictions about the 2016 season. As I look at the Yankees team as currently comprised, I'm feeling the same sense of uncertainty as I did at this point last season. A successful 2016 season is contingent on production from players who are either old, injury prone, or in some cases, a combination of both. Normally, this would seem to be a recipe for disaster, however I'm going to try the optimistic route. Below, are what I view as the five keys to a successful 2016. In my view, each of the five are equally important. Unfortunately, the Yankees need a lot to go right in order for them to return to the postseason. Having one posts
